Are you kidding me? Our Bishops - notably their spokesman - advocated for "universal healthcare." We warned them what would happen -- though they are not to be excused for failing see it for their exalted selves. Now that they got it, they start with all the dramatic "martyr" talk.
This is theater, that's all it is. It's the Timothy Dolan show.
It's time for the USCCB to make a clean break with their past public policy blunders. Of course, it won't be a "clean break," though; it will be a season of tugging and pulling, one man learning and another failing to learn.
You might have noticed, though, that they're unanimous on opposing the HHS Sexual Sabotage mandate. I hope only to sthrengthen their hand on that one, and rouse them to go on in this new, sane direction.
I think some of them are stunned. Good. It's a moment of grace, in its way.
